Asked and answered. Most of the this thread is off-topic.
I sent back a rifle to a curator contact at the Army Museum while in Afghanistan in 2006. I could do so after it was inspected and certified that it appeared to be a pre-1900 piece (almost certainly a decent copy- it looked exactly like the rifle in post 35).
I am closing this thread because (1) the question has been completely answered, and (2) not only are many of the replies OT, but also because disciplinary action/clean-up will almost certainly be required if this stays open.
